RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Bay Banks of Virginia, Inc. (OTCQB: BAYK), (the "Company"), holding company for Virginia Commonwealth Bank (the "Bank") and VCB Financial Group, Inc., announced plans to consolidate its two Chesterfield branches into a single branch.
"The decision to consolidate these branch locations followed a thorough review of our branch operations and is based on improving the efficiency of our branch network while continually striving to enhance shareholder value. We remain strongly committed to our Chesterfield County customers and will continue to provide them with the excellent service they have come to know and expect," stated Randal R. Greene, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Bank has notified its Courthouse branch customers that their accounts will be transferred to its Robious branch located at 11450 Robious Road, near the intersection of W. Huguenot Road and Robious Road. Closing of the Courthouse branch will occur at 3:00 p.m. on February 6, 2020.

Our priority is to offer more extensive digital and mobile capabilities to meet our customers' banking preferences. With this consolidation, we are not leaving our geographic footprint in Chesterfield County, we are just consolidating two branches within 4 miles of each other to more effectively serve our customers. This strategic step is happening throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia with 33 branch closures announced in 2019."
This branch consolidation is one component of the Bank's strategic framework to achieve the optimal combination of branches and mobile banking technologies, while continuing to offer its customers convenience and superb levels of service from experienced lenders and staff.
